A new way to view interior surfaces.
Aesthetics,
durability and cleaning are important factors when designing
an interior environment. For applications where there are heavy
numbers of users or there is a high demand for hygiene, the
choice of materials becomes even more crucial. An interior that
requires a lot of maintenance and cleaning will waste time and
money. Equally, an environment that gets dirty quickly is more
likely to attract graffiti and vandalism. Here is one way to avoid
potential problems and create an interior that not only portrays
a feeling of harmony but one that remains attractive to its users
throughout its entire life cycle. |

Virtuon – easier to clean everywhere.
Virtuon is a whole new type of interior wall composite. Its practical
qualities make it ideal for tough applications which include cubicles, lockers, wall cladding in hotels, hospitals, offices,
schools, airports, train or subway stations, recreation parks, swimming pools - even bumper rails, to name a few.
In addition, Virtuon’s tactile surface is as pleasing to users as it is tough. In fact, few other materials are as well suited to
catering for both the functional and aesthetic needs of people.
Virtuon is an effective way to help protect people in those areas where health issues are of vital importance. Its smoother
surface works in two ways. First, dirt or stains cannot penetrate Virtuon making it difficult for them to adhere or attach to the
surface. Second, Virtuon retains its closed surface structure even after repeated exposure to heavy cleaning.
These properties make its surface easier to clean and disinfect. In addition, the smooth, sealed surface deters bacteria
and prevents the growth of algae, moulds or fungi.
Virtuon’s Electron Beam Cured surface is sealed to stop
dirt and dyes from penetrating - it actually repels water and stains. Plus, common dirt, along with calcium and salts can
be removed easily to restore the panel back to the state it was in when first installed. In fact, Virtuon performs
exceptionally well across a broad range of potential problems. For example, tests in operating rooms show that the cleaning
agents preferred in clinical situations do not damage the surface. For public places, it has
the welcome benefit of being resistant to the cleaning agents used to remove graffiti and
paint. In addition, because it is so easy to clean it means important savings in time, effort
and money.
As well as being more durable and more hygienic, Virtuon makes more sense. For specifiers, this attractive, aesthetically
pleasing product offers a broad spectrum of design possibilities. From a public perspective, the surface is friendly, warm and
has a high tactile value. And its durability means it retains a new look, allowing people to enjoy surroundings that maintain
their original appeal. The increased level of hygiene makes it an exceptionally safe environment for people too. In addition, it
has a low requirement for cleaning which can offer important savings on maintenance
costs. The less frequent use of cleaning agents also benefits the environment – a fact that
could be particularly important within the public sector.
